Re: Replacing the drain plug
 

I've had that happen before many times. The stuff you get from WAL-MART is the same brand and looks the same, but I've had the most problems with it running. I personally like to use 5200 FAST CURE myself, but once you open it you better use it or it will harden in the tube.

I ususally try to mix it in the tube before I open it up, just knead the tube back and forth, that should mix it up engough so if any of the chemicals have separated, they will have mixed preoperlly

One way Ive found to help with that Ferm is to screw a big wirenut onto the tip. Ive got a tube of fastcure Ive been using off and on for about two weeks like that. New wirenut each time you undo it and youre good to go. :)

I've been using these for my caulk at home,
they seem to work pretty good and make a tight seal.

Re: Replacing the drain plug
 

I just put a screw in the opening and don't have any problems when I need to use it again. Just like the day I bought it. ;)

Question - everyone is giving the nod to 5200 for this drain plug, but wouldn't epoxy be stronger and last longer in terms of water intrusion? Not doubting 5200 - it should last a long time, but wouldn't epoxy last longer?
